The rollout of the RO e-Transport system has brought significant changes for companies transporting high fiscal risk goods within Romania or carrying out international road transport. These changes involve declaring shipments electronically and meeting strict requirements imposed by ANAF, the Romanian tax authority. In this context, many companies face challenges around compliance, process optimisation and reducing the risk of penalties.

The RO e-Transport system creates obligations for both shippers and transport providers, and CargoPlanning offers automated solutions for each, so that e-Transport does not add extra responsibilities for your staff.

What is RO e-Transport?

RO e-Transport is an electronic shipment monitoring system developed by the Romanian tax authorities. Its main purpose is to combat tax evasion and increase transparency in the transport of goods carrying a high fiscal risk, such as alcoholic products, vegetables, fruit, construction materials and other regulated categories. Using this system is mandatory for companies involved in such shipments.

Challenges for companies

Companies operating in Romania face several difficulties related to:

• Generating and submitting declarations on time: Any delay or error can attract significant penalties.
• Integrating the RO e-Transport system into existing processes: Many operators struggle to align the legal requirements with their operational workflows.
• Constantly monitoring and keeping up with the regulations: Frequent legislative changes make it difficult to stay compliant.
